Cast by Paul Cruet, French, 1880 - 1966 Shortly before Rodin’s death in November 1917, his assistant Paul Cruet made a life cast of the artist’s right hand and placed into it a female torso, in miniature, by Rodin, one of the many plaster ragments in Rodin’s Paris studio. This composite work combines a cast made from life with an original work of art. This is a Copyrighted Reproduction of the original done through Museum Pieces, Inc. (MPI).It is marked MPI on the base of the hand, and has the sticker on the bottom of the base. Measures 13 1/8" inches in height, 5 1/2” depth, and 4” width. Weighs 4 1/2 lbs. Looks much better in-person - white backdrop darkens the color / image. In Excellent Condition. No cracks, chips or breaks to the sculpture.
